UNDERSTANDING PENTEST .

Penetration testing is a process that involves simulating real attacks to assess the risks associated with potential security breaches. Penetration tests are used to evaluate the security of computer systems. A methodical approach is required to maintain both the integrity of the results and the stability of the systems being tested.

The main goal of a Vulnerability Assessment is identifying, rank, and report vulnerabilities that, if exploited, may result in an intentional or unintentional compromise of a system. However, one of a penetration test’s goal is to identify ways to exploit vulnerabilities to circumvent or defeat the security features of system components.

GENERAL WORKFLOW .

The penetration testing execution standard consists of eight (8) main sections. These cover everything related to a penetration test – from the initial communication and reasoning behind a pentest, through the intelligence gathering and threat modeling phases where tester are working behind the scene in order to get a better understanding of the tested organization, through vulnerability research, exploitation and post exploitation, where the technical security expertise of the tester come to play and combine with the business understanding of the engagement, and finally to the reporting, which capture the entire process, in a manner that makes sense to the customer and provides the most value to it.
